Summer Break
Sep 10, 2023 06:52:32 #
Following an extremely hot day here in the UK I managed to finally get out under the stars.
Due to work commitments and music / DJ sessions, this is my first image for sometime & with amazement the clouds behaved themselves too.
Thus here we have extreme wide field view of the Sadr region within the constellation of Cygnus.
Due to the OAT I was only able to cool the camera down to zero.
Techy Bits......
Askar 135mm
Altair Astro filter holder
NBZ filter
Altair Astro 269c pro tec
Skywatcher AZ/GTI in EQ mode.
APT for focus, plate solve, PA, dithering & imagining
Lights 50 @ 300s 285g HGC 25os (0c)
Darks 10 300s
Flats & Flat Darks x 30

Good, no complaints.
I've gotten NINA to run great for me finally.
Now I'm trying to get some parts to work for me, like the Flats Wizard.
Always more to learn.
But it has been running, and doing Meridian flips just dandy.
So much so, i just casually watch it. Then I'll go watch to see the flip cracks off like it should and retire for the night.
I have had several nights where clouds or fog shows up unexpectedly.
But can't fight the weather.
Tonight looks to be good. I'm hoping so.

Sorry to hear that.
Work is a four letter word.
Unfortunately, we have to endure.
Good to hear from you, though!
